Data pads and Pad-Panning

As the war comes to a close, data pads become the most coveted "Want" Items. Journaling pads were often a luxury few could afford. Most were never formatted in the case of whomever wrote it may still be alive. They always held stories of their own within them.

Pad-Panning was the term used when someone collects Data pads. Whether for recreational use or for data logging mining/repair/what have you procedures, or just jotting ideas for the future (i.e. 'Write a book' or 'Names to avoid naming your children after the war ends') (For the latter the names to never name your child is 'Kaon' or 'Iacon'. Trust me, the reasons are lengthy) They've become an important piece of historical evidence. Recountenance of battles, losses, victories, all told through the optics of the soldiers who lived and lost their lives. Many will be kept as heirlooms towards sparklings or donated to the Iaacon hall when the war is over, but there are few many choose to keep hidden. Whether reports of Empurata, the countenance of someone close to them, or someone who should be forgotten, little is known on any of whom their pads have not been given or returned to the Great Hall.

The Explanation of "Nesting"

A Cybertronian courtship ritual performed by Seekers after a sparkling has been created and one of the pair/trine is carrying. Often, in modern times, this relates to essentially making a small house in one bedroom, including sections for: bedding, the nester's preferred past time (reading, writing, video games, etc.) and food rationing piles. During this time only the mate(s) will be allowed near the seeker who's carrying due to possible distrust. Only exceptions are those the Nester are closest too save for their mate(s). Oftentimes, in the modern setting, Nesting Seekers will take long leaves along with their partners to properly cultivate a "nest."

Sparklings of Nesting Cybertronians are known to spend a few years of their lives secluded within the nest, though this has begun to change due to modern times, it is still considered a tradition in some parts of Cybertron.

Cindy: Hey… can I be a Jew?

Rabbi: No.

Cindy: Can I be a Jew?

Rabbi: No.

Cindy: Can I be a Jew?

Rabbi: You really want this? Sincerely? Not ‘cause this one’s trying to blackmail me for something stupid when I was 19 or for broccoli with your dinner? What is this for you?

Cindy: Honestly, I think I found my people. I was raised in a church where I was told to believe and pray. And if I was bad, I’d go to hell. And if I was good, I’d go to heaven. And if I’d ask Jesus, he’d forgive me and that was that. And here y’all are sayin’ ain’t no hell. Ain’t sure about heaven. And if you do something wrong, you got to figure it out yourself. And as far as God’s concerned, it’s your job to keep asking questions and to keep learning and to keep arguing. It’s like a verb. It’s like … you do God. And that’s a lot of work, but I think I’m in, as least as far as I can see it. I mean, maybe I’ll learn more and say fuck the whole thing, I mean, but I wanna learn more, and I think I gotta be in it to do that. You know… Does that make sense? Shit, did I just talk myself out of it?

Rabbi: Ask me again.

Cindy: Can I be a Jew?

Rabbi: Yes.

Not a headcanon but important

Google Kicks off Black History Month Honoring Black Mississauga Ojibwe Sculptor Edmonia Lewis

Edmonia Lewis (1844-1907) was an American sculptor who worked for most of her career in Rome, Italy. She is the first woman of African-American and Native American heritage to achieve international fame and recognition as a sculptor in the fine arts world. Her work is known for incorporating themes relating to black people and indigenous peoples of the Americas into Neoclassical style sculpture. She emerged during the crisis-filled days of the Civil War, and by the end of the 19th century, she was the only black woman who had participated in and been recognized to any degree by the American artistic mainstream. - Wikipedia

Parents and sparklings, particularly carriers, have a parental sparkbond with their children, that stays with the children until adulthood, when the parents pass away it will be after a slow fading. But when the child dies, especially early in life, the bond is severed so suddenly it causes a certain reaction in the spark that leads to panic attacks, depression, anxiety, overprotectiveness, and more often then not, tragically, suicide of one or both of the parents, considering who felt rhe bond stronger.

Ok but I have an Optimus figure,, like a 10 dollar one from 2010 but I was like 8 when I bought him, and I had a small fox plushie so I gave it to him and I waz like "Optimus it's ur pet!" and now it's displayed with him?? So now I have a headcanon that Optimus has a "pet" fox that Agent Fowler keeps at his home but brings it every now and then for Optimus to see and play with because I still think its the cutest shit. Like it accidentally gets it's tail stepped on by Optimus so he rushes it back to base and almost shoves it at Agent Fowler like "AGENT FOWLER!!" So now uh yeah, there's a fox that sometimes is briufht to base so Optimus can see them?? He named them Roller, which us weird because she's a female.

Human Decepticons: Starscream

Starscream is a Drag queen in his spare time as a human, doing a double act with Knockout.

Knockout holds a 60s-esque, Goodbye-Yellow-Brick-Rose-Elton-John-Cover type ordeal, with a big feather boa in a dark red.

Starscream has two red handfans. Considering in human form he no longer has his missiles, his two handfans become quite handy in human affairs. As usual, he does smack a few vehicons with it. Its quite hysterical, actually.
